Panesar explained the disparity in workload, saying: “From my end there’s a bit of turn and we had the right-hand batsmen in play, so the ball turning away helped.”

It was a frustrating day for Pakistan as a number of batsmen got in without going on to post a big score, with only captain Misbah-ul-Haq (83 not out) and Asad Shafiq (58) getting past 50.

But had Lancashire’s James Anderson clung on to a sharp catch at slip Misbah-ul-Haq would have been out for 30.

Former Lancashire batsman Brad Hodge has hit out at Australia’s selectors for consistently overlooking him.

Hodge announced his retirement from the Victoria Bushrangers on Monday so he could play in the Bangladesh Premier League. Hodge is one of Australia's finest domestic players but only played six Tests and 25 ODIs.

“Selection has puzzled me for a number of years and it continues to puzzle me and continues to puzzle the public,” he said. “It doesn't make a lot of sense to me any more but it doesn't bother me one little bit any more either.”
